Pastor John P. Kee is getting big love from the gospel music industry in support of his new album, I Made It Out, available everywhere.

Travis Greene, Jason Nelson, Tasha Page Lockhart, Myron Butler, Hart Ramsey and Chrystal Rucker, and more took special time to record social media videos in celebration of the release.

The GRAMMY® Award-nominated 57-year-old pioneer and living legend, who joined Entertainment One Nashville earlier this year, has been heavily promoting his latest work, and he hasn’t had to do it alone.

Industry friends and family members have gotten behind this effort, giving it a big push.

GMA Dove Award-winning Contemporary Christian artist, Travis Greene, gave an enthusiastic co-sign in an Instagram video uploaded by Kee, where the 35-year-old called the veteran “my biggest inspiration in music period.”

While sitting down on a couch and looking into the camera, the “Intentional” songwriter said, “I don’t know who your inspiration is. Maybe it’s Stevie, maybe it’s Michael, maybe it’s Prince. My #1 inspiration is the one and only John P. Kee!”

The pastor of Forward City Church in South Carolina continued, “I’m so pumped about this record. I’m a big student. I love this dude with all my heart. Get your hands on the album.”

Kee, a prolific singer, musician, producer and songwriter, whose enduring hits began impacting Billboard charts in the early 90s is called “an artist who has inspired many of today’s leading mainstream and gospel music acts,” by Gina Miller, VP/GM of Urban Inspirational Music of Entertainment One.

Ahead of the full release, Entertainment One dropped the single and title-track, “I Made It Out” featuring Zacardi Cortez, earlier this year, and the buzz reached fever pitch.

Those who have already purchased I Made It Out are giving it glowing reports. EEW Magazine Online’s gospel music editor, Ben Watson, said “It takes you straight to church with that classic, yet updated, John P. Kee sound. You get the highest quality production, instrumentation and vocals that will leave you sonically and spiritually satisfied.”

Watson gives the album 4 out of 5 stars.
